State Sen. Irene Aguilar, M.D.’s introduction of a bill for the Colorado Health Care Cooperative will likely be delayed, rather than taking place on Feb. 22 as planned. We will provide more detailed information and updates as soon as they become available.

Note: Added in second email.

The introduction of Senator Aguilar's Cooperative Legislation was delayed because of genuine concern within the Democratic Caucus about whether it should be a referred statute or a Constitutional Amendment. The delay is not an attempt to stop or damage the Cooperative, but a disagreement among supporters about the best way to proceed. However, because the disagreement involves complex legal, legislative, and Constitutional issues, it will take more than a day or two to resolve these issues. We anticipate the necessary meetings to discuss the issues will take place the week of February 25th, and after resolution, there will be a few days delay for Legislative Council to rewrite the legislation.
